Drinks recipes

Cocktails, coffee rituals and the cooling drinks that rescue a spicy meal. 208 recipes, in a suggested order.

Coffee, tea, lassis, smoothies, cordials and cocktails. Measures are in millilitres first, so a jigger or a small measuring jug gives the balance the recipe intends. Syrups and cordials keep for the time their storage note gives, so one batch can cover a week.

The 208 recipes come from 36 cuisines; the largest groups are American (87), British (21), International (17), Indian (14) and Mexican (12). Of these, 168 are ready in 30 minutes or less, start to finish; the quickest are Gin and Tonic (2 min), Rye and Ginger (2 min) and Shandy (2 min). For 39, the method times a wait such as rising, chilling or marinating, and the time at the top of the recipe includes it. By difficulty: 195 easy and 13 medium.

As written, 192 are vegetarian, 106 vegan, 187 gluten-free and 115 dairy-free. Another 6 meet a diet label only with a swap the recipe names, and the recipe says which.
